WILSON HI. CLARK.

A We'll Known Former Resident. Many friends will learn with regret of the death of Lawyer Wilson H. Clark, who died on Saturday at the residence of his daughter in Ansonie. His age was 67. His health had been quite poor for several years, and he took trip to some of the southern States not long ago in the hope of beneftting it. His death was sudden but not unexpected. He figured here quite prominently as law yer and real estate owner twenty years ago, and owned for some time the LighthousePo tract of land, which rumor has several times had on the point of being sold to the Starins He was lawyer quick to apprehend and seize the salient points of 8 case. He did not figure as debater or a speaker, but had good deal of law business that paid we'll He accumulated money and afterward lost it in unfortunate speculat1ons in mining stocks and in the Lighthouse Point land invest lnents. He was 8 short, thick-set man, genial in manner and kind-hearted. He was at one time member of the Common Council and at another prosecuting attorney and twice elected to the State Senate. He was a true friend and affectionate father. He lost a son few years ago, whose death preyed upon his spirits. He leaves three children, Mrs. Alton Farrell, Mrs. Franklin J. Farrell and Mrs. Thomas Wallace, ,jr.. of leading Ansonia families.
 A friend on hearing of his death writes: "A Latin maxim says: Of the dead say nothing but good.' Nothing but good could be said of Mr. Clark It may be said of him that he was the soul of honor which he exemplifed in high degree in his relations to all, whether of social or business nature. Courteous and polished manners were a nat ural part of the man to all and at all times. He verify did not know how to speak harsh ly or unkindly to or of another.

IT'S STILL A MYSTERY.

Deputy Coroner WtlIett Has Touch.
 ing Interview With the Family of
 the Dead Man.
 How Charles Way, the station agent of the Shore Line road at Stony Greek, met his death last week has not yet been ferreted out. Everything connected with it seems lowering in the cloud of mystery. Deputy Coroner WilIett and his assistants have worked on the case every day since the death of Way, but their hard labor has revealed nothing yet. The people of Stony Greek are very anxious to have the whole thing cleared up. Deputy Coroner Willett, in accordance with desire expressed by the family of the dead man to know just what had been done to bring the murderers to justice, drove over to Madison Saturday. On his way back he stopped at the telegraph office in Guil- ford. Miss Knowles said that before leaving for home she always exchanged a parting good-b with Way. Monday night she sent her electric farewell about nine o'clock. Way answered and said that he would not leave for possibly two hours and half as he had some work to finish up. This was her last farewell to Charley Way. Stony Greek people are worked up about the affair as they fear if the murderer is allowed to escape business will go to smash at the Creek this summer. There is some talk in Branford of offering reward, but Branford people move slowly and will probably begin to look at the matter seriously by the time the murderer has made good his escape.

DEAD BODY FOUND.
pr. White Orders the Body tt

pr. White Orders the Body to be
 Taken to WestvIlle For Burial.
 About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon the body of man was discovered floating on the surface of the water halfway between Belle dock and the lighthouse. The body was lowed into Oyster Point and Medical Exam iner White sent for. Dr. White could not be found and Dr. Eliot, medical examiner for East Haven and North Haven, was summon ed. Before Dr. Eliot concluded his examin- ation Dr. White arrived upon the scene. Nothing was found on the body except a jack knife and $4 and some odd change. The clothing was good deal better than that worn by the ordinary seamen and this led the doctors to the conclusion that the de- ceased was mate on ome outward bound sailing vessel. How long the body had been in the water could not be accurately deter mined. As there was no suitable place in New Haven for receiving the body Dr. White ordered it carried to Westville and placed in the receiving vault in the Westville ceme- tery. The remains will be inferred in the paupers' plot of the cemetery this morning.

Good samaritans, NFeetfng.

At the Good Samaritans' temperance meet ing held last evening in Loomis' Temple of Music the exercises were of a deeply interest ing character. At 8 o'clock the meeting opened. After hymn was sung and prayer was offered William H. Conklin referred to the great good accomplished by the Samari- tan society and stated that the purpose of the Samaritans was to assist in maintaining law by rescuing men from strong drink and thus making them good citizens. He cited many cases to illustrate the benefcent work of the society. W. O. de F. Dickinson made an ad- nirable temperance address, which was lis tened to by the audience with much interest. MT. Dickinson paid high compliment to the society and said that he heard daily from those who had received strength from it. In speaking of the temperance work he exhorted all present to labor on as the cause was just and would ultimately triumph. Charles Clark followed in a brief address, dwelling upon the importance of 6 temperate life, and in closing invited young men to identify themselves with the great temperance reform. Edward J. Sheehan rendered vocal selection which delighted all present. J. Fitzgerald accompanied him on the piano. After the hymn "America" was sung by the audience the meeting was brought to close.
